Thank you for posting that info. 🙂

You are exactly correct!!🤗

GOOD BITE!!….The McCullochs had a rather elaborate die cast badge or “medallion” covering the solenoid hole. The Paxton rework was reduced to a foil decal…..which looks good, however, was definitely a cost reduction!

Exhaust pipe from exhaust manifold touches the Tie Rod

No problem in reversing the tie rod… will not affect front end alignment….Avanti Motors did that on their Studebaker framed 80’s Avantis. -
Just my opinion, ….I think the final design looks better without the fender flares.

Can anyone name a very obvious cost cutting measure made when the McCulloch VS-57 supercharger was converted by the Granatellis into the Paxton SN-60 supercharger? ( Not referring to elimination of the vari-speed pulley/drive items)

For a new chapter of the AOAI to be established, one requirement is that the proposed new chapter have at least…..?..… founding members. 1) Six…..2) Seven….3) Eight…..or…..4) Ten

If things had gone Steve Blake’s way, he intended to establish company stores in what he considered to be our nations three best luxury car markets….. Which of the following four cities was not on Steve Blake’s list? 1) New York City…..2) Los Angeles…..3) Houston…..or…..4) Miami

Not getting into politics here!! However, I just heard that the ‘John Cafaro Company’ was hired last month to clean up the Reflecting Pool in front of the Washington Monument….(This job has turned into a minor disaster!) Is this the same Cafaro Company that produced some of the ‘89-‘91 AVANTI automobiles?? 🤔

Not sure about that!…..I think the ‘original’ wheel cover blank would be stamped out first, then the Avanti ‘touches’ would be added to it…..Possibly added in one additional stamping.
